摘 要
本研究主要目的在探討單親家庭主要照顧者學齡兒童其休閒活動、飲食習慣、親子互動與健康狀況之關係。研究方法採用橫斷式研究設計，研究樣本為台中縣國民小學五、六年級學齡兒童共554位。以階層迴歸分析，結果顯示家庭結構、主要照顧者會影響單親學齡兒童健康狀況的成長。單親家庭之學齡兒童受到休閒活動、飲食習慣、親子互動等因素的影響，心理健康的成長較雙親家庭差。在單親家庭部分，若為父親照顧時，當親子互動提高，學齡兒童心理健康的成長優於母親及祖父母照顧；若為母親照顧，在休閒活動、親子互動對於心理健康的成長，則優於祖父母照顧。研究結果將提供相關單位及學校協助單親家庭促進健康行為措施之參考。

Abstract
This study was designed to explore the leisure activities, diet habits, parent-child interactions, and health conditions of school age children with a single parent as the primary caregiver. Cross-sectional research design was adopted, and the research sample comprised of 554 students in the fifth and sixth years of elementary schools in Taichung County. The result of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that family structure and primary caregiver would affect the growth of single-parent school age children’s health conditions. Affected by leisure activities, diet habits, and parent-child interactions, single-parent school age children gained smaller growth in less health than those growing in a two-parent family. Among single-parent children, when parent-child interactions increased, those with father as the primary caregiver exhibited better growth in mental health than those with mother as the primary caregiver. Those with mother as the primary caregiver could benefit more from leisure activities and parent-child interaction in their growth of mental health than those with grandparent as the primary caregiver. The research results would be provided to authorities concerned and schools as a reference on assisting single-parent families to promote healthy behaviors.
